Ok gentlemen, here's the rough math on the portal. You really want a reason why High Charity can't, and never will be able to fit into the portal?
Diameter of a portal at 60% cpacity = 72.79
Finding 100% of capacity (x)
60/100 x 72.79/x
60x = 7279
x = 7279/60
100% capacity is x = 121.32 miles.
There you have it.
Portal won't fit High Charity. High Charity is too much of a man for Forerunner constructions.
Sorry if confusing as shit, but these are all rough and quickly done, but I went over it, and that's what you get.
CONFIRMED: High Charity is BBC of Haloverse.
Edit- My slashes are division. Sorry for mathematical shenanigans.
I base 60% based off of how wide the "wings" of the portal are opened at the time. They are opened up a little over halfway before they hit solid ground. Taking this rough guesstimate, I did the math up above and got my answer. Even if they were opened up at 55% it still wouldn't be enough. The remaining space for the wings to move allowing the growth of the portal wouldn't be enough.
So, we have two canon explanations now.
Bungie dun goofed and, High Charity is monster cock ramming tight Forerunner hole.

I am scared.
-
Why you scared compatriot?
-
My butthole was not ready for that math.
-
What in the mother of god? Why are you pulling info out of your ass? Where the hell is the source that states the portal was operating at 60% power?
-
Not power. Capacity. I told you. Take a look at the portal's wings. You stated, that the portal could potentially grow larger if the "flaps/wings" were widened. Therefore, I assumed that the portal's potential size was based off of how far the "wings" were extended. So, take a look at the wings. From where they are now, to hitting the ground, they're about over halfway open. So, you take the radius of the portal at the estimated percentage the wings are open, and you do some math shenanigans to figure out what the portal's radius would potentially be if the wings were opened at 100% capacity. Does this clear everything up?
-
Yes and no. How do we know the portal size linearly correlates with the pylons, and not exponentially?

Edited by Sandtrap: 4/7/2014 6:43:04 PMNow that my friend is a good question! In short, we don't. We don't have any knowledge of any kind on a stabilized portal expanding or shrinking based on the movement of the generators powering it, or the growth rate of a portal. But, for the time being, this goes along with your equations as well, if we consider that the size of the portal alone is determined by how far the wings are spread outwards. High Charity still remains as the one true monster cock of the Haloverse. So, unless they could siphon off more power from their unknown power source and create a larger portal that way, High Charity Still wouldn't fit if we took the wings=portal size theory into consideration. Therfore, we need some info on how much power a slipspace portal requires! Through that, we could probably figure out the rate of it's growth depending on the power being put into it.

This whole issue just pisses me off in general, and I'm getting really touchy because of that. So sorry, if I've been a little too severe with my word choice. For now, let's just leave it at this until 343i gives us an answer: [quote]High Charity still remains as the one true monster cock of the Haloverse.[/quote]

Edited by Sandtrap: 4/7/2014 7:15:03 PMHahaha! I was getting touchy too. I'd write up all these big chunks of potential solutions and work arounds and they all got shot down more and more. Every one was a case OF "Yes, this can work, THIS CAN WORK GOD DAMMIT!" And, once shown that there were no work around's short of a retcon, I just decided to enforce your theory. I'm jacked up on coffee to keep myself alive and awake after two hours of sleep, so my head is a jumbled mess of speed and thinking, and every reply of mine was followed by ^ what's up above. At the very least, there was much discussion, no? GG friend.
-
Yeah, you seem really hyper...
-
Gotta find a way to keep myself up and operational. I have important things to do today. And in the meantime this was a good measure to keep occupied. Need to slow down a little bit now, I think. I suppose this is probably the only thing I'll end up discussing Halo related for a while as well. This one little thread was the only one in what, a few weeks? Only one that had any real discussion value anyway. I'm an ugly creature when I'm discussion starved.
-
Come back to the Archive then!

[quote]if we consider that the size of the portal alone is determined by how far the wings are spread outwards.[/quote] prove it. that's a pretty big assumption, and, from what i've seen, completely out of the blue as well.

Edited by Sandtrap: 4/7/2014 6:48:09 PMI'm just using what Admirals stated. That was his idea on how the portal could potentially grow larger. There are still other factors out there that we don't really know. But, if we were to go off of the theory that it's size is only determined by the wings being open, then that gets shot out of the sky.
